Best Actor

    On the screen, with the huge roar of the aircraft engine, the movie came to an end, and the male protagonist laughed on the bed and ushered in his own ending. But in the normal world, there are no strange things, no love at first, only the sad cry of my sister and parents, and only the heroine passing by like a stranger. It's a sad story.

    "Too stupid." Shawn muttered.

    "What?" Katie, who was forcibly pulled to sit beside him, asked at this time.

    "It's nothing, it's over soon, I'm a little worried about the audience's evaluation." Sean said disguisedly.

    I used to see myself laughing in bed when I was filming. I don’t know why, but it became a little silly on the big screen. Make more impressions.

    "Are you still worried about this?" Katie pursed her lips and asked, as if she was still dissatisfied with his previous arrogance.

    “As an actor, shouldn’t you be worried?” Sean shrugged.

    This is, although in his opinion, his performance is already good, but he can't represent all the audience, can it? If the emotion of the character cannot be conveyed to the audience, then the actor is undoubtedly a failure, and whether it can be conveyed depends on the applause after the screening, so at this time there will be more or less worry.

    At this moment, the lights have been turned on, and the originally quiet auditorium began to buzz, and it seemed that many people began to discuss at the same time. This is not a good phenomenon, because the first reaction of the audience after the film is the most real reaction, if there is no applause at all, it means that the film is very bad.

    In fact, Sean heard someone in the back row asking in a low voice: What is this movie about?

    However, seven or eight seconds later, the first applause sounded. Although the snap was abrupt, it somewhat eased the current awkward atmosphere. Then, driven by this applause, others also began to applaud, and the range was still large. But it's hard to say how enthusiastic it is. It feels like the kind of commentary on a movie that's a little weird, not bad, and bright, but at the same time it's inexplicable.

    It seems that she should have found a publisher, or be sure to find a publisher, and having enough contacts is really helpful. Although Sean had the idea of ​​connecting with some companies with distribution capabilities through Drew, he gave up after thinking about it a little bit. "My Big Greek Wedding" is different from "Death Illusion". The latter did not plan to make money. How much money can recover the cost and get a few awards. If the box office sells well, it will be a surprise, so the publishers you contact will definitely not be too capable.

    But "My Big Greek Wedding" is different. Sean is convinced that this will not be an ordinary romantic comedy. Before reporting to the "Perfect Thief" crew, Sean was not in charge of the post-production. The studio ran through it, and also made some targeted editing comments, which is regarded as watching the film take shape. Officially because of this, he also gradually affirmed that this film will be very welcome, especially after finding a place for an internal test screening, then the ability of the distributor will naturally be as high as possible.

    If you just find those small publishers, Todd Vladimir can handle it alone. After all, he served as the deputy director of the distribution department of UW Films, so there should be some connections of. But if you want to find those powerful big publishers to take over, such as Miramax, it is not necessarily.

    Although Sean can talk to Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein, it’s not necessarily how deep the relationship is. When "Pulley" was first released, Sean might have made him think carefully, but it's hard to say now. Although he and Weinstein talked on the phone when he put the production company under Miramax before, the other party agreed very readily, but after all, it is different from releasing a movie.

    And Weinstein originally planned to ask him to star in a movie about chocolate this year, although Johnny Depp was invited halfway, but Sean did not give the first time after receiving the news Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the other party will be dissatisfied. After all, he generously put out 1 million to invest in him.

    This is why when Vladimir wanted Sean to contact Weinstein, Sean smiled bitterly in his heart although he agreed.

    It would be nice to meet Harvey here, at least to test his tone. Sean said so in his heart, and then his wish came true.

    "Yes, I heard about it, but I haven't seen it yet. It is said to be a sci-fi movie with some ideas." In a corner of the venue, Harvey Weinstein laughed with a big belly Said, "A movie with you must have quality."

    Hearing this, Sean was really flattered, but looking at his red face, he probably got a lot at the film festival, maybe it was a scene. Miramax started and is famous for independent films, so the Sundance Film Festival every year will not be missed, and many producers also hope to be bought by Miramax, so in "Death Illusion" It's normal to see him at a party.

    Although the applause at the first screening was not very enthusiastic, there was still an endless stream of people watching the film after that, and many people thought the film was cool, and some film critics were still interested in pondering the details of the film, It is commendable that Kelly, as a young director, has such thoughts in his debut.

    "The director built a wonderful world and showed an alternative youth. As the debut work of a young director, "Death Illusion" is undoubtedly qualified. In "Genius Ripley" The addition of Sean Tang, who has performed well, has also added a lot to the film. If you like science fiction movies, you can go and see this interesting work." The day after the film was released, the entertainment section of the local newspaper There was a movie review like this before.

    Some of the critics who started writing on the newly popular blogs also posted their thoughts on The Illusion of Death on their own blogs, and the reviews were mostly positive. As the first person to use blogs to write film reviews, his thinking is naturally more avant-garde, and he naturally has a certain favorable impression of this kind of work that likes to confuse mysteries.

    Many of these comments have been reprinted by other media, but most of them are in the later editions, linked to the Sundance Film Festival, and only a few sentences are intercepted.

    Rao is so happy enough, so Drew and a few producers threw a party on the second day of the show and invited a lot of people to attend, and it has been back and forth several times Weinstein was there just now, so after the invitation from the street, he took a look and met Sean.

    Whether it was a scene or not, it at least gave Sean a chance: "Thank you for your compliment, Harvey, it's a pleasure to hear you say this about me a year later matter."

    "It's true, you're a wonderful young man." Weinstein continued laughing.

     "By the way, a film I made will be shown at the film festival in two days. Are you interested in coming to see it?" Sean asked immediately.

    "Making a movie?" Weinstein raised his eyebrows, and the hidden spot on his face disappeared indifferently. Obviously, his sense of smell was extremely sensitive on this.

    "Yes," Sean said calmly, "Remember, I set up a production company and was affiliated under Miramax."

    "That's right, that's right," Weinstein thought for a moment, then a look of stunned surprise turned into surprise, "You made a movie so quickly?"

    "A small-cost romantic comedy with a very interesting script, exotic but close to real life, so I raised funds to make it and brought it to Sundance to exhibit." Sean immediately Start lobbying.

    "Romantic comedy? It's not an easy subject to make, it's a genre that's always been popular, but the competition is fierce, and it's not a good idea for a new production company to choose this." Weinstein Showing a look of disapproval.

    Sean frowned slightly, and before he could come up with a speech, a voice interjected: "It depends on the script, it can be seen by Todd Vladimir Yes, it certainly won't be much worse."

    "Sure enough, where I can see Sean, Fred." Weinstein hummed.

    "Unfortunately, if you could meet Sean yesterday, I would not be around." Frederick laughed.

    Weinstein hummed again, and then showed a look of surprise: "Wait, what did you just say... Todd Vladimir?"

    "Don't you know?" Frederick pointed to Sean, "He hired Vladimir to be the general manager of the production company, and the script for this romantic comedy is also He recommended it to Sean, and he liked the script so much that he even served as executive producer of the film."

    "Really?" Weinstein looked at Sean in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it, "I thought that guy didn't plan to do any more careers related to movies, but I didn't expect... see Come on, you don't just want to set up a bag making company, Sean, so why are you under Miramax?"

    "Anyway, I became famous through Miramax, and Miramax is also more friendly to independent filmmakers, I hope to bring more to Miramax Good movie." Sean said immediately, a thing that should have been taken advantage of, but he said it so righteously.

    It's a pity that the other party just eats this set.

    "Really?" Weinstein grinned. "Well, when did that movie you made come out?"

    "On the 23rd, the Portuka Cinema, called "My Grand Greek Wedding", I will be there with the creators to wait for your presence." Sean said happily.

    "No problem, I'll come." Weinstein nodded, "I'd like to know what's so special about this movie that both you and Vladimir like."
